./textproc/ugrep, Fast grep with many enhancements including Unicode support

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 4.0.5, Package name: ugrep-4.0.5, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Ultra fast grep with interactive query UI: search file systems, source
code, text, binary files, archives (cpio/tar/pax/zip), compressed
files (gz/Z/bz2/lzma/xz/lz4), documents, fuzzy search, and more.
A faster, user-friendly replacement for GNU/BSD grep.

It also supports Unicode, as well as having regular expressions
patterns helpful for searching many types of source code files.

ugrep: updated to 4.0.5

ugrep v4.0.5

One last minor update before the break. I want to make sure ugrep is and remains \ 
a high-quality search tool.

Fixed a recently-added optimization that may in some rare cases cause a problem \ 
with a match at the end of a file.

ugrep: updated to 4.0.4

ugrep v4.0.4

new --delay=DELAY option to specify a default query TUI response delay time, \ 
which can be specified in a .ugrep config file with delay=DELAY (--save-config \ 
includes this setting also)
fix option -m compatibility issue wth GNU grep when showing context lines with \ 
-ABC after the last max match
updated --save-config as per user request
correct an issue with -o and context

ugrep: updated to 4.0.2

ugrep v4.0.2

additional speed up with improved parametrization of the matching algorithm \ 
decision logic 🚀
updated performance benchmarks showing that ugrep is almost always faster than \ 
other grep tools (more benchmarks will be added over time)

Log message:
ugrep: updated to 4.0.1

ugrep v4.0.1

this update resolves a legacy C++ compilation error with ptrdiff_t
speeds up option -l to search compressed files with -z
enables an important search optimization that was no longer enabled
publish new ugrep performance benchmarks 🚀

Ugrep 4.0 offers faster searching with improved internals:

faster async output, speeds up ugrep 3x when outputting many matching lines 🚀
removed "rest line" buffering, speeds up ugrep up to 2x, depending on \ 
the output-related options used 🚀
removed redundant "binary file" checking, speeds up ugrep 10%~20% 🚀
double size input buffer, speeds up searching 5%~20% when searching very large \ 
files (GB) with none/infrequent pattern matches 🚀
faster empty pattern matching, i.e. pattern '' matches all lines faster, as much \ 
as 10x faster 🚀
removed redundant color escape codes from the output 🖥
option -Q with an optional argument is now -Q=DELAY instead of -QDELAY, so -Q2 \ 
is -Q -2 (simple options should be composable/separable) which searches 2 \ 
directory levels deep with the query TUI 🖥
fully tested --index (still beta version) to search indexed file systems, see \ 
also WIP project ugrep-indexer 🚀
Thumbs up to all ugrep users and contributors to make this possible 👍

A comprehensive performance benchmarking comparison will be published. I hope \ 
this convinces you all how fast ugrep is compared to other grep tools. At least \ 
until/unless other grep start using (rip-off, ahem...) my work ❤️

Log message:
ugrep: updated to 3.12.6

ugrep v3.12.6

New option -S (--dereference-files) to follow symbolic links only to files, not \ 
to directories, when using option -r for recursive search. Updated default \ 
recursive search to strictly perform -r without following any symbolic links \ 
(use -S to search symlinked files). New option --index for fast index-based \ 
search with the new ugrep-indexer tool. The ugrep-indexer tool is released on \ 
GitHub as a separate open source project at \ 
https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep-indexer which will become part of ugrep later \ 
after more feedback is received for this new feature.

Log message:
ugrep: updated to 3.12.4

ugrep v3.12.4
Even faster search for common search patterns, such as sets of words, using \ 
additional SIMD AVX and neon/AArch64 intrinsics.

Log message:
ugrep: updated to 3.12.3

ugrep v3.12.3

Speed improvements to further speed up common search patterns. Improved man \ 
page. The ug and ug+ commands now enable --pretty by default (that is, if a \ 
.ugrep configuration file does not override it with no-pretty). Fixed a \ 
potential pattern match issue in the new v3.12 optimizations.
